terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

today i was told in more ways than one that i need to use some of my paid time off. apparently it is more obvious than i thought that my fuse is about a cm long and that it doesn't take much to light it anymore. so now i have a four day weekend approaching and i am determined to make the best of it. i'm going to force clint out and give us some fresh air (if we can find any in chicago.) he has been trapped in front of his computer for weeks writing and we're both kind of a misery to be around -- good thing misery loves company. i'm so lucky to have someone who not only tolerates my bad moods, but really does little to imply that he's noticed that i'm tired and kind of a bitch.
on a positive note, i've finally completed my book and am ready to mail it out to a list of people who have patiently waited. i've been in the studio a lot lately, and it does feel good to work well into the night like that. especially when i'm alone. it's hard to find time to myself like that anymore.
